The kind of bike I drool over. Still the coolest looking front fender ever put on any bike.

Looks like a mini Superglide from the '70's. Love 'em or not, AMF and HD put out some fabulous looking bikes. Even if bike technology never progressed from this era of cool bikes, I'd still be happy.

I rode a 72 XLCH 1000cc. Sportster. Say what you will about AMF products, but I had good service and a lot of fun with it. You scored a hit with that XLH, it will save your kicker leg.

Che spettacolo mi viene la pelle d'oca ogni volta che la guardo

Fantastic Survivor ! I have a 72 CH and I wish it was half as nice as this one. That button on the handlebar would be nice to have too 😅

Nothing as cool as a vintage Sportster, SuperGlide and ElectraGlide.

Sportster, always sounded like they were hauling ass. At idle or full throttle they sound great.

Perfect, except for the mini bike throttle.

Beautiful machine, you can't beat the look and sound of a shovelhead. I still have my 77 FX.

I knew the very second this clown said Patina ...This was likely a Hipster wearing stove pipes with about as much incommon with a socket set as OBL did with 9/11 .

That is a nice one.

Just a couple of things: Sportster’s built before 1/1/1973 came without turn signals and the ‘55 style tail light; this machine has both. This Sportster also has the late cylinders and heads, with the updated head bolt pattern and 12 point head bolts. This machine also has the ‘74 and later throttle control.

Looks just like Duane Allmans (RIP)

Other than my right knee...I have fond memories of my 74 Sporty all those years ago....

1974. When men were men, women were women, and potatoes were potatoes. Still have mine, same color, same shape. Although I'm not. Now I'm an old ,fat bastard.

I love old Ironhead’s, although my right leg doesn’t. Great looking bike.

My FIRST Harley ! I bought it off my sister , in 1979 . I was 19 . Last year of the “ right hand shifter “ . Mine came from the factory with red white & blue graphics , with a red white & blue 1” stripe running down both fenders . At the license plate holder - a factory alarm system that “ chirped “ when the mercury switch senses movement , operated by independent batteries inside the plate holder .

OMG

Nice bike 🚲🔥💨💨💨💨

Das war mein erstes Bike 1978, allerdings in schwarz mit den goldenen Streifen am Tank, schöne Erinnerung. Habe nur ein Fehler gemacht, das ich das Bike nach 4 Jahren verkauft habe, wäre heute noch schön damit zu fahren.

I have the exact same bike and love it!

I never knew of Japanese Harleys. I had a 1978 sportster I put 35 thousand or more miles on it never broke down. Tougher than nails

Just picked one up with 13k original. I haven't been this excited since my first time 😂 Great sounding bike!

Beautiful ❤

Do you sell these bikes and if so where can I view them? Thanks Ken

Unless it has been bored there was no 1000cc sportster in 73its an 883called a 900 .

I bought that same color sportster new in 74 ,seeing this video brought back a lot good memories-thanks for sharing, wish I knew back then how to hook up the electric start

What is the deal about touching the pipes

Turn off your gas, Homer ! If your float needle sticks ( quite common) from a piece of dirt, you'll wash off the oil from your cylinders ! I shouldn't need to explain what happens from there ! But you spell it in $ +$+$ !

what a pretty bike I had a 78 1/2 just like it.

I had a new red xlh 1980

Nice.. just got my 72 back on the road.
